Kadie Buquoi

The Black

Meet Kadie Buquoi - A dreamy & dark Los Angeles based songstress by way of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In a world of fast-paced dance beats and synth-pop, Kadie Buquoi (pronounced like "Katie Boo-Kwahh") has a sound of her own, with organic, cinematic arrangements dripping over rich piano and thoughtful lyrics, both tragic and comforting. Kadie's musical foundation was built at the piano under the heavy influence of her grandmother, who was a professional concert pianist in Louisiana. Just as prevalent, however, was the influence of other pianists/singer-songwriters such as Fiona Apple, Carol King, and Ben Folds. Her music extracts diverse elements from both worlds, with songwriting & production that is radio-ready, and melodies & arrangements that are haunting and complex. In the Fall of 2016, Kadie released her debut EP, "The Black" featuring four new original songs, all having to do with understanding and making peace with one's own dark side.
